James Monroe of Unknown Succulents appreciates the sharpness and boldness of all aloe varieties—beyond just the classic aloe vera. He loves that this interesting succulent type can change color depending on how much sunlight they get and grow to be as large as a car. "The majority of them are from South Africa, so when it comes to brightness, I don't suggest that people grow them indoors. They enjoy bright, bright light," he adds.

The Aloe humilis 'hedgehog' (Hedgehog aloe) is one funky variety that would look great on a porch or in the garden and give you plenty of cooling gel come summertime.

Echeverias are striking succulents to have around; their leaf pattern resembles a flower in bloom, and they come in a variety of desert shades. Most varieties, such as this Echeveria Lola, can also grow very quickly when given ample light.

Since Echeverias are basically works of art, Cohen loves turning them into jewelry. Simply secure a moss layer on top of a bracelet or headband, add your succulent, and you have a living design that should last a couple of weeks.

Don't let its thin leaves fool you. The Beaucarnea recurvata (or Ponytail palm) is actually a succulent! Instead of storing water in its foliage, it keeps it in its bulbous trunk. Keep this plant in well-draining soil and bright light and it'll grow into a tall statement piece indoors or out.

Yes, the popular Sansevieria (also called Snake Plant and Mother In Law's Tongue) collects water in its long leaves and is, therefore, a succulent. As most Snake Plant parents can attest, these plants are very easy to grow indoors and can go weeks without watering.

"Architects and designers love Sansavierias because of their crisp, upright, swordlike geometry," adds Baldwin. The plant can also grow to be the size of a tall human, making it quite the statement piece.

Multiple experts pointed to Haworthias as some of the easiest succulents to care for indoors, and Monroe notes that this genus tends to be more forgiving of overwatering than other succulents.

The fun printed leaves on this particular Haworthia, the Zebra Plant, should thrive on any sunny windowsill. "It can be found in a lot of home improvement stores, and it's sometimes seen at grocery stores, so it's a highly accessible plant," he adds.

Jade plants tend to be very hardy, and Cohen notes that it's not uncommon to see one that has been passed down through generations. "There's this legacy that Jade has that's so beautiful. It's such a nice energy to bring into your home space," she says. Tuttle adds that most varieties of this classic green succulent can grow well indoors as houseplants and are pretty forgiving about watering. Just be sure to give it enough sun. The Sunset Jade pictured has reverted to green, but this variety can take on beautiful hues of red and yellow.

With a name that conjures visions of Jurassic Park, Lithops are ancient plants that were first discovered hundreds of years ago. Their nickname is "Living Stone" because they grow in clusters very close to the ground. "It's a plant that is 98% leaf," says Monroe, which tells you something about its care needs. "It does not need to be watered that often, which is where beginners can go wrong," he adds.

Give yours plenty of time between waterings to ensure that its leaves don't become too full and burst. Plant your Lithops in gritty, rocky soil to further help out with drainage.

As the nickname suggests, this succulent has paddle-shaped leaves that sit on top of each other in unique layers. It's also sometimes called Red Lips because the edges of its leaves can take on a striking red hue in the sun. It would do well in a sunny garden that stays warm throughout the year.

A personal favorite of Tuttle's, this succulent "has a really pretty purple/pink coloring and propagates easily," she says. "You can grow new babies from cuttings and leaves, plus it will put off many new babies on its own." This is another plant that can survive indoors, and you should definitely bring yours inside for the winter if you live in a colder climate.

The leaves on this cascading plant resemble a delicate string of pearls and make for a lovely accent in an open terrarium or indoor arrangement. They can also grow pretty quickly—especially when treated to a little fertilizer in spring and summer.

Monroe appreciates that this speckled succulent is very slow-growing, making it another nice pick for a terrarium or another small space. While it might be hard to spot any growth with the naked eye, he says that taking pictures of your Gasteria every few months can help you pick up on its subtle progress.

Sedums are perennial plants that have a delicate-looking string of succulent leaves. They come in a few varieties, and Cohen likes to use them as ground cover in her garden. Different types come in unique colors, like this loud Sedum 'Salsa' that's light green and watermelon-red.

Aeonium succulents make for dramatic garden plants since they usually bloom a beautiful flower before dying. Cohen notes that pollinators love this final display, and it's a feast for the eyes too. "What's interesting is that before they put up this "death bloom," they usually propagate and create all these little pups around their base," she notes, making this succulent a beautiful symbol for the cycle of life.
